and i wonder when it stopped being a crime! No mention of it - yet - in the 'legal' proceedings ...

"
Cooper's office filed an answer to the suit last week. In it, state
officials acknowledged that Indian Affairs commissioners failed to
disclose publicly in advance that members intended to discuss and
approve the six groups' applications. Officials also noted
commissioners discussed the matters before the meeting."

yup, sounds like a crime was committed, imho ... but i'z no AG or regular lawyer.
